I agree - the faucet placement looks correct ( there is a lip of the sink underneath as well as the mounting pieces for the faucet) so you can't really get any closer.

As mentioned above - the spout reach is critical as well as the angle of the spray - the picture above illustrates that very well.

If you want it moved, you could have another hole drilled and put a sap dispenser in that one - not sure how much all of that will cost since you will also have to pay for someone to remove and reinstall the faucet. But I am not sure that will work. Now the faucet will be great for the little sink but not the larger one.

So sorry - hope you can find a resolution

Replace the faucet

Yup. I have the faucet in M Miller’s second pic, the Kohler Artifacts. It has tremendous reach, as not only is the flexible house very long, but the arc of the faucet reaches to the center of the sink. The Artifacts also has multiple sprays, and has an extremely ergonomic head.

I drill a lot of faucet holes and this one doesn't look too unusual. Technically, it could be patched and the hole re-drilled more forward. If that faucet were reinstalled in the new hole, the patch would be fairly inconspicuous. That seems like a lot of work for a small gain.

I'd change the faucet.

@Joseph Corlett, LLC - when you say "re-drilled more forward", how much more are you talking? It could be the way that the dark stone is photographing, but it does not look to me that there is enough space for a second hole more forward than the faucet is now, i.e. closer to the sink edge. Maybe could squeeze a quarter or half inch, but 1/4-1/2" is not going to help what the OP shows in his second pic, nor help the issue of the faucet not reaching the entirety of the sink. As you say, the OP should change the faucet.

Thank you M Miller, and everyone else. I agree, replacing the faucet will be so much easier than drilling a new hole. Funny how I was so stuck on the idea that the faucet was in the wrong place, that I didn't even think of getting a faucet with a longer reach.

Let's assume the flange on that sink is 1 1/4". The positive reveal appears to be about 3/4" thick, meaning about 1/2" of flange is under the countertop. That means the front of the faucet hole could start about 5/8" back from the countertop edge, leaving a little space to avoid drilling the flange. The faucet nut could be shimmed opposite the flange as it's tightened against against both. That would probably put the faucet escutecheon 1/4" away from the countertop edge. That would mean the faucet is coming forward 2-3"

Sorry Joseph, the math as well as what the photo shows are not working for me to see the faucet able to come forward from its current position by 2-3". We can drop it though, because the OP said that he agrees that replacing the faucet would be much easier.

I'm going to add this thought: This little controller -- I have no idea what it's called -- should be facing forward /not on the right. Why? Because that means you can turn the water on with your right OR left hand with equal ease, and if you touch the controller with wet hands and it drips, it'll drip into the sink /not onto the counter top.

That's now mine's mounted, and I love it.

M Miller:

People benefit from reading alternatives whether they are implemented or not. I make no guarantees on dimensions working off interwebby pictures. lol

This is a design fail. The designer should have input all the sizes of everything, including the faucet reach, and done the math. The designer gets to buy you a new, longer reach, faucet. If you only had a cabinet seller, and you were coordinating the design decisions yourself, then you get to buy the new faucet.
